  • the membrane may be configured to provide differing levels of support and cushion at different locations, providing enhanced comfort to a passenger.
  • a headrest with membrane may support a number of aesthetic features, like colors, logos, or other visually pleasing designs, eliminating the need for outer panels. The combination of structure, support, and outer visual appearance further simplifies and lightens the headrest.
  • a suspension headrest comprising a perimeter frame comprising a forward side, an aft side, and an open central region; and a suspension membrane affixed to the forward side of the perimeter frame; wherein the suspension membrane is held in tension across the open central region of the perimeter frame and may deflect into the open central region when load is applied to the suspension membrane.

  • the at least one cross member may be convex with respect to the aft side of the perimeter frame.
  • the at least one cross member may comprise a first cross member and a second cross member.
  • the first cross member may be substantially orthogonal to the second cross member.
  • the perimeter frame may deflect to provide support in response to loading.
  • the perimeter frame and the at least one cross member may deflect to provide support in response to loading.
  • the at least one cross member may comprise a horizontal cross member.
  • the horizontal cross member may be vertically offset.

  • the suspension membrane may comprise an integrated reinforcement selected from the group consisting of foam, woven thread, and sleeved reinforcements.
  • the suspension headrest may comprise articulating lateral portions.
  • the suspension headrest may further comprise cushioning material on the at least one cross member.
  • a suspension headrest may comprise a perimeter frame that may comprise a rounded rectangle comprising an open central region, a forward side, and an aft side.
  • a suspension membrane may comprise a two-way stretch fabric held in tension across the forward side of the perimeter frame and spanning the open central region.
  • a vertical cross member may span the aft side of the perimeter frame.

  • inventions of the invention provide a lightweight headrest with a suspension membrane and supporting frame for passenger seats. While the headrests are discussed for use with airline passenger seats, they are by no means so limited. Rather, embodiments of the suspension headrest may be used in any passenger seat including, but not limited to, automotive, marine, bus, train, or other commercial passenger seats.
  • a suspension headrest 1 comprises a perimeter frame 200 with a forward side 201, an aft side 202 and a suspension membrane 100 held in tension across an open central region 203.
  • the suspension membrane 100 serves to support and cushion the load from a passenger head when it is rested against the suspension headrest 1.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may be comprised of any number of materials. However, the suspension membrane 100 is preferably comprised of a material that may flex or deflect under load, and that may support tension loads while maintaining flexibility and resisting permanent deformation.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may comprise a polymer, elastomer, two-way stretch fabric, four-way stretch fabric, a mesh, netting, or other material that may remain flexible to cushion and support a head while allowing for the support of loads.
  • the suspension membrane 100 material may be selected based on an engineering or regulatory standard, such as standards for fire resistance requirements for commercial air travel.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may be affixed to the perimeter frame 200 in any number of ways as desired or required for a particular application.
  • mechanical fasteners such as, but not limited to, staples, nails, pins, screws, rivets, or the like may be used to affix the suspension membrane 100 to the perimeter frame 200.
  • adhesives such as epoxy, glue, or other bonding agents may be used.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may also be formed or molded as an integral part of the perimeter frame 200.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may also be attached to the perimeter frame 200 by wrapping the material of the suspension membrane 100 around the perimeter frame 200 and attaching the suspension membrane 100 material to itself. The self-attachment may be achieved through stitching, adhesion, mechanical fastening, or other attachment means.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may be attached to the perimeter frame 200 by placing the two parts together and applying heat such that the material of the suspension membrane 100, perimeter frame 200, or both melts. The suspension membrane 100 and perimeter frame 200 may then be held together from the solidified melt material. It is also possible, and in some cases desirable, to form or mold the suspension membrane 100 and perimeter frame 200 as a single piece of material. By selectively increasing or decreasing the thickness of the material, a suspension membrane 100 that is flexible may be integrally molded with a relatively stiffer perimeter frame 200 as a single piece while still providing the function of a multiple-part suspension headrest 1.
  • the perimeter frame 200 may be planar, or may have a curved shape such that the forward side 201 of the perimeter frame 200 is generally concave in at least one dimension, and the aft side 202 of the perimeter frame 200 is generally convex in at least one dimension.
  • the perimeter frame 200 may feature additional support or structure from optional vertical cross member 208 and/or horizontal cross member 210 that may be attached to the perimeter frame at attachment points 212.
  • the vertical cross member 208 and horizontal cross member 210 may pass over or through one another, and may or may not be attached to one another, at the crossover 213.
  • the suspension membrane 100 can be configured to provide varying degrees of support, deflection, and to tailor these characteristics across the area of the suspension membrane 100 that spans the open central region 203.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may be affixed or attached to the perimeter frame 200 in such a way that the initial tension in one direction is different than the tension in a different direction.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may be configured with a higher degree of initial tension in the vertical direction to give additional support to loads in the fore-aft direction, while having less initial tension in the horizontal direction to provide additional cushion for lateral loads.
  • Initial tension of the suspension membrane 100 may also be influenced by the weave of the suspension membrane 100 in applications where the suspension membrane 100 comprises a fabric or woven material. The weave of the suspension membrane 100 may be tighter in one direction compared to another.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may have differing types of threads (i.e., stronger or weaker threads) at selected locations throughout its area to provide varying degrees of cushion.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may also include an integrated reinforcement 104 to provide additional support, enhance comfort, and/or provide additional shape to the suspension membrane 100.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may include foam strips, springs, woven in threads, or strips of pre-stressed fabrics as an integrated reinforcement 104 to alter or adapt the amount of cushion or support in the suspension membrane 100 and suspension cushion 1.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may have sleeves or apertures included that allow insertion of reinforcements similar to those noted above.
  • the perimeter frame 200 may be constructed from a number of different materials including, but not limited to, injection molded plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, fiber reinforced plastics, carbon fiber, composites, polycarbonate, polypropylene, other metallic materials, or other polymers.
  • the selection of perimeter frame 200 material may be made based on the particular environment or requirements of an application, including anticipated forces, cost of material, cost of manufacture, number of units required, and/or regulatory requirements.
  • the material of the perimeter frame 200 (and also of the vertical cross member 208 and/or horizontal cross member 210) may be selected for compliance with a safety or fire resistance standard, such as those that are often used for commercial airline applications.
  • the perimeter frame 200 serves to provide support to the suspension membrane 100, and to give shape, structure, and attachment points for the suspension headrest 1.
  • the geometry of the perimeter frame 200 including the use or omission of cross members 208, 210 may vary depending upon the requirements of any particular application.
  • the perimeter frame 200 may be planar without any curvature.
  • the perimeter frame 200 may have a curvature such that the forward side 201 is concave and the aft side 202 is convex as shown in Figures 1-5 .
  • the geometry of the perimeter frame 200 may also determine the geometry of the open central region 203 and expansion space 206, which the suspension membrane 100 moves through and into, respectively.
  • the curvature of the perimeter frame 200 may be used to increase the lateral support of the passenger's head, or it may be used to increase the volume of the expansion space 206.
  • the curvature of the perimeter frame 200 may allow for additional deflection of the suspension membrane 100 before it contacts any portions of the perimeter frame 200 or any cross members 208, 210.
  • the suspension headrest 1 may also include a vertical cross member 208 and/or a horizontal cross member 210.
  • These cross members 208, 210 may take on any number of configurations and orientations as desired or required for a particular application.
  • the cross members 208, 210 may be positioned orthogonally to one another as shown in Figure 4 .
  • the cross members 208, 210 may be positioned in different orientations and at different angles to one another as they span the open central region 203 of the perimeter frame 200.
  • the cross members 208, 210 may also have different curvatures to provide different shapes and support profiles for the suspension headrest 1.
  • the cross members 208, 210 may have curvatures that generally follow those of the perimeter frame 200, or they may be bowed to a greater or lesser extent than the perimeter frame 200. Adjustments to the curvature of the cross members 208, 210 may also influence the amount of expansion space 206 available in any particular embodiment of the suspension headrest 1.
  • the cross members 208, 210 may be located in offset positions. For example, in Figure 4 , the horizontal cross member 210 is located above the center of the perimeter frame 200. Offsetting one or more of the cross members 208, 210 may provide for tailored cushioning and support profiles for passengers of different size and weight.
  • the cross members 208, 210 may be removably affixed to the perimeter frame 200 at the attachment points 212 or other locations along the perimeter frame 200.
  • the cross members 208, 210 may be attached with mechanical fasteners, adhesives, magnets, or they may snap into notches formed or molded into the perimeter frame 200.
  • the crossover 213 may feature attachment means between the cross members 208, 210 as with the connection of the cross members 208, 210 to the perimeter frame 200.
  • the cross members 208, 210 may be formed or molded as a single piece. In other embodiments, the cross members 208, 210 will not be affixed to one another at the crossover 213, and will independently provide support to the perimeter frame 200.
  • the perimeter frame 200 and optional cross members 208, 210 may provide a part of the flexibility and cushioning action of the suspension headrest 1.
  • the perimeter frame 200 and cross members 208, 210 may be formed of materials or given geometries that allow them to deflect and function as springs.
  • the load of the passenger's head will be absorbed by the suspension membrane 100, the perimeter frame 200, and/or the cross members 208, 210 deflecting and supporting loads as group.
  • the cross members 208, 210 may be lined with a cushioning material, such as, but not limited to, foam or another compressible material.
  • a cushioning material such as, but not limited to, foam or another compressible material.
  • the foam would allow for cushioning of the passenger's head in an emergency maneuver, accident, or any other situation where the force of the passenger head on the suspension membrane 100 is great enough that the suspension membrane 100 may deflect to an extent that contact between the passenger head and cross members 208, 210 may occur.
  • the suspension headrest 1 may support and cushion the head and neck of a passenger through the deflection of the suspension membrane 100 through the open central region 203 of the perimeter frame 200.
  • the suspension membrane 100 which is held in an initial state of tension because it is stretched across the perimeter frame 200, will deflect from its initial position in an aft direction generally through the open central region 203 of the perimeter frame 200 and into the expansion space 206.
  • the level of tension in the suspension membrane 100 will increase from its initial state, and take up the load of the passenger's head.
  • the suspension membrane 100 may take up all of the load of the passenger's head during normal use without the passenger head contacting the perimeter frame 200, or the optional vertical cross member 208 and/or optional horizontal cross member 210.
  • perimeter frame 200, vertical cross member 208, and/or horizontal cross member 210 may be used assist the suspension membrane 100 and partially support the passenger's head.
